KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - Texas Rangers are investigating after a Killeen officer shot and killed a man Sunday evening whom police described as “emotionally distressed.”

The officer responded to what police said was a psychiatric call at around 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Carrollton Avenue in Killeen.

“Upon the officer’s arrival, he encountered an emotionally distressed man,” police spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez said.

“The officer initially used his conducted energy weapon, which was ineffective, and then discharged his duty weapon during the encounter, striking the subject,” Miramontez said.

From what little the doorbell camera shows I think the officer was wrong. But I'll wait for the body cam and investigation before I make my judgement. I sure hope no one riots here.

I can’t see the Obiden regime promoting BLM street-activism for at least another year.

They’ll save it until they need to cow some local officials on some other issue.

As such, nothing will come of this.

Why is the death of a black man “Breaking News”

Is that what we’ve become?

I’ve said this before, but they need to put more power into those tasers. They seem to not work more and more often lately.

“fired his first shot into Patrick and (then) redirected his weapon towards Patrick’s wife, Barbara, telling her to get back from Patrick.”

“The officer again trains his weapon on Patrick’s body and continues to fire his weapon, killing him,” Merritt said.”

Watch #16 for video and more.

Yes, blame the officer this time. There’s a reason the TX Rangers are investigating.

There is no video of the shooting. Your cop hating agenda is showing.
